Cousins will visit with Vikings coaches and other team personnel on Wednesday night, NFL Network reported. The plan right now is for Cousins to stay in Minneapolis and visit the team’s brand-new practice facility on Thursday – so unless things go horribly, it sounds like he won’t be making visits elsewhere.

Cousins received the franchise tag from Washington in 2016 and 2017, and that money was fully guaranteed as well. Unlike so many other players who sign contracts that look good in headlines but get only a fraction of the money, Cousins is walking away with a robust bank account.

Kirk Cousins has taken home over $46.6 million im career earnings. #Vikings fully-guaranteed deal can push him to over $130 million total. He’ll hit free agency again at 32. Very, very conceivable Kirk Cousins earns over $250 million in his career. So, yeah. #NFL agents.

And other players have taken notice: Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin Jr. tweeted that Cousins is “a hero for all the young players that will follow after him. Now we need more players to bet on themselves until fully guaranteed contracts are the norm and not the exception.”

If you’re Aaron Rodgers, wouldn’t you go to the Packers and say you want fully guaranteed money too? It seems unlikely that non-quarterbacks will be getting fully guaranteed deals right away, but in a league so reliant on quarterbacks, we may be seeing a turning of the tide.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2012, Cousins has been Washington’s full-time starter for the last three years, over which time the team was 24-23-1 and went to the playoffs after the 2015 season.
